We had 48 stories in the Collector this week with 1 Debut. Please welcome Ken McGrath to the community. The stories this week fall under 15 different genres, including one each in Action, Cross-Genre, Experimental, Historical, Suspense, and Western. What a wonderfully diverse community we have!

Have you read Ink and Electronics yet? That’s the latest post from FFDO Correspondent Catherine Russell and it’s well worth your time to give it a look. Then share your experiences in the comments.

Remember to keep the community news flowing through our weekly News Flash. Please note that Estrella is on a short vacation, but you can send your news items to Jon at jmstro@gmail.com.

As always, if your story is not in the listing below please go to the Collector and add the details. It will be in next week’s report. ~Tim
